Christoph M. (ID: 000000ec6b6ef7a9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/23/2016 Great extension, but it doesn't work when HN is showing the black mourning bar. In this case, the collapse buttons simply don't appear.

Andrei Simionescu (ID: 000000167782f6c7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/21/2016 Works as advertised.

Jared Nipper (ID: 000000582748b13f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/19/2016 Collapse link needs to be to the left of the username.

Mel Brands (ID: 0000000f2e36f070) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/16/2016 Links to collapse a thread are aligned wrong! They should be aligned to left so you don't have to mentally search for it. It's Fitt's law. Other than that, it works OK. But I've gone back to a javascript bookmarklet to collapse comments because of that flaw above. Incidentally, reddit implements this feature properly.

Kevin Wu (ID: 0000005b106fe220) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/21/2014 This extension works great. The only thing I would improve is if the collapse button was all lined up along the left like reddit.
